When are we ever going to need to know this?
This is a very common question among students learning science in school. You might not think that photosynthesis has a direct effect on you, but it does. As you will see throughout this class, all of life is connected. If you ever wondered how certain topics can have a direct effect on your life, be sure to browse the "Current Events" page.

Science is the study of everything in the universe. Within this umbrella of science, biology is the study of all life in the universe. Every living creature in the universe, from the smallest bacteria to the largest whales in our oceans, is directly impacted by biology on a daily basis.

Biology is constantly changing. If you have a curious mind and an interest in what makes life, you can be a biologist. In just the past 200 years, we have gone from Charles Darwin proposing the theory of evolution to the publication of the complete human genome. Almost all of what we currently know in the field of biology was discovered in the past 2 centuries. What does the next century have in store for us in terms of biological discoveries? You could be the one to find that out.

You can't work at Jurassic Park without knowing a little about biology.
